I keep being assured that nothing will happen to me, but I'm not that stupid. All it takes is the wrong parent saying the wrong thing to the wrong person on the wrong day, and then I have a huge target on my back. I'm also brilliant at saying the wrong thing to the wrong person myself, so there's that. I suck at politics.

Here's the thing: we're all targets. They just haven't gotten to each of us yet. The better answer is to all band together and work together for safety.
